Another Trump Loyalist Whacked

Sebastian Gorka, a former counterterrorism analyst for Fox News and one of President Trump's most effective defenders on television, who joined the administration as a counterterrorism adviser, will be leaving the White House in the coming days, reportsThe Los Angeles Times.

LaTi notes that Gorka had initially been hired to play a key role on the Strategic Initiatives Group, an advisory panel created by Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon to run parallel to the National Security Council.

In this role, Gorka was a direct threat to the influence of National Security Adviser Lt. General H.R. McMaster on the President.

It is quite amazing that this guy will no longer be working from inside the White House.

Maybe Gorka will survive.The Daily Beast says Gorka is safe from a new sweep of national security officials at the White House because he reports to Trump instead of national security adviser H.R. McMaster.

Gorka is very military friendly. He presented on Islamic threats at US Special Operations Command in Florida in 2008 for an international Special forces conference. I knew him from Budapest in 2006-2008 and his views are all for a military solution to Islam. The military wing of the deep state should at the very least tolerate him if not want him close to Trump.
